they look good, but with the tint it's over the top IMO. chrome tint goes on scrapers, not evo's...

Damn that actually looks really good!! I didn't think the caps will look well on the RS wheels but that looks like they belong together. NICE!

thanks Calvin. Ya, they look like they belong on the rims, and that was exactly what I was looking for!!! and fitment was perfect! The rims/tires were a bit dirty, but the focus was on the centercaps...
Thanks again for the awseome customer service! I placed my order thursday night, and got them, well would have gotten them on sat. if the Fed Ex driver wasnt a deusche bag!

I'm not a huge fan of chrome wheels, but I think these work pretty well. Chromed Advan RS's definitely aren't too flashy, especially compared to most of the other 22" chromed wheels I see attached to old beat up Buicks. These wheels still retain the aggressive look that the RS is known for and give it a nice show car look. The center caps definitely complete the look.

If you look really hard the wheels sort of match your headlights

Anyway nice wheels, you definitely went with something unique and I think they look great.

Another pic of RS with centercaps. Def looks better than caps on the RGII IMO. I like capless RGIIs personally.



what do you guys think of this look??? SBC on apex silver?

Like the wheel design, just not the color choice. Looks too cheap to me

Thank you! "show car" was the look I am going for! I plan to get her in a show or two, when I get her finished... not sponsered lol The center caps definitely complete the "look". I was thinking about chroming them, but I have had too much on my plate, so I just put them on, and now, I dont even think they need to be chromed!
You have a keen eye for detail... Even I didnt realize that. lol
It looks super clean in white! Im thinking about picking me up some sidespats.

I just ran into my first problem with these rims... people with these rims listen up!
You can NOT go to a REGULAR CAR WASH w/ these rims on your car!!! I went to the local car wash where they know me/my car, and treat me well, but in the process of lining up the car to go on the lil machine that pulls/pushs the car through the car wash, they hit the edge of my rims on the machine, and on each spoke of one rim is scuffed! Brand New rims... not terrible, but I noticed it when I was cleaning my rims.
TO ALL THOSE WITH THESE RIMS, WASH YOUR CAR AT THE CAR WASH AT YOUR OWN RISK! I will now take mine to the wash it yourself spot for $6!

I really doubt most people on here go through automatic car washes anyway. They always scratch cars up and EVO guys are usually pretty ****.

I've never taken any of my cars to a car wash. Not worth it.
